Review by Divided_Stash

Divided_Stash Poor Heart: fun opener choice

Down With Disease: high energy awesome type 1 version

Guyute: played perfectly

Gumbo: The effect Page uses for his solo in the middle is cool. Also a maple leaf rag tease in the piano solo

Rift: lightning fast, almost too fast

Free: typical Trey percussion early version

The Old Home Place: bluegrass time

David Bowie: long and weird intro, just how I like 'em. There’s bit of unusual jamming early but it quickly returns for a tremendous build and peak, with another little section of improvisation later on

Lawn Boy: chairman of the boards and Trey on percussion again

Sparkle: standard

Frankenstein: great set one closer

La Grange: 56 show gap. Low Mike to start the second set

Runaway Jim: first type 2 jam of the show. After most of a normal Jim build they find an exit into a nice spacey funk groove. After a while Trey asks Fish to stop playing so they can do

The Vibration Of Life: 148 show bustout

Kung: 55 show gap

Catapult: Trey switches to percussion and Mike dances with a scarf. Peak Phish weirdness, and it’s awesome

Axilla: part 2 ending. Don’t shine that thing in my face man

Harry Hood: contains the longest note by Trey ever

Suzy Greenburg: amazing La Grange and Axilla teases

Amazing Grace: acapella to end the set

We’re An American Band: appealing to the people of Omaha with this song to close the show

Awesome stuff! The first set flows nicely with a fantastic jam in Bowie, and the antics in the second set are hilarious and one of my favorite Phish moments. This is an 8/10 show. Highlights are Bowie, Jim, Vibration, Kung, Catapult, and Hood
